That is what I know as well, but in the incident I am describing, no error message appeared....don't know why though!

As it's an intermittent fault I doubt the dealer will/can do much about it. I will take some pics or video next time so I can show evidence of it not starting.
The fault is registered, so the dealer will be able to run diagnostics and read the fault code....probably the error will tell him what is wrong or what went wrong at that instant.
